New Golf Website for Michigan Golfers

From now on, golfers living in the Michigan area will get all the information they need to decide at which golf course they should play. Sometimes, picking a golf course can be a hit or miss. When leaving home heading to the golf course, you never know if the course will be crowded or not. Areagreens is the name of a new dynamic website with the information most needed by golfers about all of Michigan?s private and public golf courses. Areagreens utilizes it?s relationships with golf professionals and course owners to provide comprehensive information about each course.

These relationships have made it possible for areagreens.com to give away rounds of golf throughout the golf season to help promote golfing in Michigan. Scott Lirett, a long time golfing professional says, ?They provide a great service for all golfers and golf courses. The golfers get the information they want and the courses have a professional site on which to provide their information. Plus, the courses get advertising at no cost and we golfers can win rounds of golf by simply providing our email address? everybody wins!?

Tom Willis, creator of the website had this to say, ?I wanted to create an easy to use, completely free website to golfers about ALL of Michigan`s great golf courses, not just the one?s that pay to be listed.? Sean Blenkhorn, areagreen?s chief technologist, followed by saying, ?We?ve been able to do this effectively by doing two things: 1) we?ve built a comprehensive database of all of Michigan?s golf courses and 2) we?ve offered several packages to choose from, one of which is completely free to the golf course?.
